Rate-sensitive stocks including Apple, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Nvidia fell between 0.5% and 1.5% in premarket trading as the two-year and 10-year Treasury yields scaled multi-year highs. The U.S. central bank delivered a widely anticipated pause on Wednesday and revised economic projections higher with warnings that the battle against inflation was far from over, prompting a weak session for Wall Street. The Fed's updated quarterly projections showed chances of the key rate being lifted one more time in 2023 to a peak range of 5.50%-5.75% and significantly tighter rates through 2024 than previously expected.
- U.S. stock index futures declined on Thursday as growth stocks took a hit from a jump in Treasury yields after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady while hinting at another hike this year.
The Fed's updated quarterly projections showed chances of the key rate being lifted one more time in 2023 to a peak range of 5.50%-5.75% and significantly tighter rates through 2024 than previously expected.

Futures inch up on hopes of pause in Fed rate hikesThe U.S. central bank is expected to maintain its key rate in the range of 5.25%-5.50% at 2 p.m. ET, but the focus will be on projections and Chair Jerome Powell's comments for clues on the outlook for rates and inflation. Recent economic data has signaled an easing in core inflation, fuelling bets of a likely peak in interest rates, but surging oil prices have left a print on the headline inflation figures, paving the way for the Fed to project higher-for-longer rates.
